After the success of their original Oat Cream IPA, Otherside return with a Trans-Tasman hop trio edition featuring Vic Secret, Rakau and Nelson Sauvin. While some may be questioning yet another riff on the world of the haze – "Oat cream IPA, you say??", the majority of punters seemingly couldn't care less with pre-release online stocks devoured from the brewery's new webstore, and the remainder lasting mere days in retailers.
Those able to grab a can of the experimental release will find a suitably smooth, lactose-imbued, protein rich base through which peach, over-ripe pear, apricot, subtle pineapple, mango and wine likes notes float, with some welcome booze presence and more to be discovered within an incredibly cohesive beer.
